I Don't Get It

[Rye]

I'm sure you've heard (older) people say this about various websites, such as Twitter and FB. I've always been confused by the phrase because it seems so obvious what the point of those two sites are and laughed at the idea of not getting it. But now, I'm having this problem. Am I old?

Recently, I was reading how people on Etsy are recommended to try to advertise on Squidoo, and how it's so good for getting page views. So last night I tried to make a page on Squidoo, and I really just... don't understand it. Is it like a free website hosting site? Is it like twitter? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. I'm really struggling with this site, but I'll try it out because it might get me more sales.

What sites on the internet do you not "get"?

Facebook and Twitter, like you I just don't get it. If you want to talk to a friend why not ring them or call round for them. Same with text messaging as well. I am 23 but most of the time i feel 73 with all these con fangled new fads . I ask myself why would I want a stranger poking or tweeting me, what does that even mean (hides in cupboard)

I still don't understand the appeal of Twitter.

people like telling others about the dump they just took after telling about the bagel they just ate, because it makes their lives feel meaningful and important.

Except for Facebook and twitter... I have no idea of what those places are that you've mentioned, so I'

Its like you hear of people who narrate there every day comings and goings on these sites. These people are ruining the fun of stalkers, it must be stopped.

A FB profile was more than enough, and I hardly ever use that one. FB is a decease, and there doesn't seem to be an antidote.

I actually think Twitter is really awesome for businesses. I've gotten way more sales since I put my business on Twitter. For one, just using #tags when tweeting a new listing instantly gets you about 30-40 page views, in less than a minute. It also lets people follow you in a way that doesn't commit to having to real a lengthy blog entry or anything. It's the quick scoop.

Word. I've earned like... $5,000+ in revenue for my business via twitter. Yeah, there's the random updating about stuff most people don't care about, but it also lets you connect & network with people who may have opportunities for you, and alerts you to those opportunities instantly.

Facebook is just fine once you learn how to "Hide" people or get better friends!

I don't understand the point of last.fm, but then again I think I've looked at it maybe once. It seems like a worse version of myspace music to me.

Oh my god, I smurfing hate last.fm! I've tried using it several times, but it's just atrocious, argh. I get frustrated every time and want to kick the website.

I think last.fm is one of the things I have, but I never actually use or look at.
